<p class="MsoNormal">I figured out a slightly confusing crochet pattern and crocheted 2 snowflakes. A while ago, I knitted a hat and put some buttons on it so I could attach whatever decorations I
fancied. I used it for my Halloween cow costume, and now I’ve taken off the horns and ears and attached my 2 snowflakes. I think it’s cute. And, for Spring, I’ll crochet some flowers and leaves to put on it, and a crochet rose. Très chic. Well, I think
so.<u></u><u></u></p>
